Acupuncture for Menopause / Menopausal Syndrome

Testimonial

Mette W.  Acupuncture and Chinese medicine rid of my hot flashes.

For three years I have had hot flashes.  During the day I tried to cope with it, but at night not even possible. Every night 3-4 times I was woken up, sometimes I managed to go back to sleep but most of the time I never fall a sleep again.   I Felt run down to manage my day with work, exercise, family and home – my “batteries” were running down.  I heard about acupuncture could help control or lower the hot flashed, so I decide to try.  I spoke to my doctor and he recommend the Houston Acupuncture and Herb Clinic.  After my third visit, I am sleeping through the night and has very very few hot flashes or none.  I gain my energy back, my mind is not foggy.  I feel more relaxed and my appetite could be controlled. I recommend acupuncture as a treatment for menopause. My acupuncturist, Jo-Mei Chiang, has been very welcoming and caring.  I highly recommend her services.

Traditionally western medicine has applied hormone replacement therapy for most of the menopausal syndromes.  Unfortunately many people can’t adopt this therapy and tolerate the side effects that are likely to increase the risk of breast cancer, stroke, clots and heart problems.  The worst part is the withdrawals that prolonged all the symptoms such as hot flashes, cold flashes, night sweats, insomnia, mood swings, weight gain, hair loss, sweats craving, etc.

Chinese medicine has different definition and treatment philosophy for menopausal syndrome.
Menopausal syndrome due to Kidney yang deficiency

In Chinese medicine when women suffer from Kidney yang deficiency that will result the infertility, menopausal syndrome, amenorrhea, irregular and delayed menstruation. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine treatment will warm the life of the gate ( Ming men) first, then tonify the kidney yang to restore the body and relieve the menopausal syndrome.

The deficiency of Ren and Chong meridians and liver function are also the conditions in the menopausal syndrome.  The deficiency of Chong and Ren meridians causes the uterus loses the functions of regulating menstruation. When liver is unable to store the blood, the symptoms will appear such as spotting menstruation, low back pain, fatigue, cold sensation in lower extremities, spasm and pain in the lower abdomen, dysuria, and low sexual drive.

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine increase the kidney yang and restore the kidney function to nourish the female reproductive organs and eliminate the symptoms of menopausal syndrome. Because of the kidney essence builds up, the whole body automatically replenished and the process of aging also gently slow down.  Acupuncture and Chinese medicine restore the body peacefully with no side effects that brings back the quality of life to patients.
